Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.77
अभ्रप्रुषो न वाचा प्रुषा वसु हविष्मन्तो न यज्ञा विजानुषः । सुमारुतं न ब्रह्माणम् अर्हसे गणम् अस्तोष्य् एषां न शोभसे ॥
abhrapruṣo na vācā pruṣā vasu haviṣmanto na yajñā vijānuṣaḥ | sumārutaṃ na brahmāṇam arhase gaṇam astoṣy eṣāṃ na śobhase ||
As with their voice from cloud they sprinkle treasure so are the wise man's liberal sacrifices. I praise their Company that merits worship as the good Maruts' priest to pay them honour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रिये मर्यासो अञ्जींर् अकृण्वत सुमारुतं न पूर्वीर् अति क्षपः । दिवस् पुत्रास एता न येतिर आदित्यासस् ते अक्रा न वावृधुः ॥
śriye maryāso añjīṃr akṛṇvata sumārutaṃ na pūrvīr ati kṣapaḥ | divas putrāsa etā na yetira ādityāsas te akrā na vāvṛdhuḥ ||
The youths have wrought their ornaments for glory through many nights,-this noble band of Maruts. Like stags the Sons of Dyatis have striven onward, the Sons of Aditi grown strong like pillars.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र ये दिवः पृथिव्या न बर्हणा त्मना रिरिच्रे अभ्रान् न सूर्यः । पाजस्वन्तो न वीराः पनस्यवो रिशादसो न मर्या अभिद्यवः ॥
pra ye divaḥ pṛthivyā na barhaṇā tmanā riricre abhrān na sūryaḥ | pājasvanto na vīrāḥ panasyavo riśādaso na maryā abhidyavaḥ ||
They who extend beyond the earth and heaven, by their own mass, as from the cloud spreads Surya; Like mighty Heroes covetous of glory, like heavenly gallants who destroy the wicked.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युष्माकम् बुध्ने अपां न यामनि विथुर्यति न मही श्रथर्यति । विश्वप्सुर् यज्ञो अर्वाग् अयं सु वः प्रयस्वन्तो न सत्राच आ गत ॥
yuṣmākam budhne apāṃ na yāmani vithuryati na mahī śratharyati | viśvapsur yajño arvāg ayaṃ su vaḥ prayasvanto na satrāca ā gata ||
When ye come nigh, as in the depth of waters, the earth is loosened, as it were, and shaken. This your all-feeding sacrifice approaches: come all united, fraught, as 'twere with viands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यूयं धूर्षु प्रयुजो न रश्मिभिर् ज्योतिष्मन्तो न भासा व्युष्टिषु । श्येनासो न स्वयशसो रिशादसः प्रवासो न प्रसितासः परिप्रुषः ॥
yūyaṃ dhūrṣu prayujo na raśmibhir jyotiṣmanto na bhāsā vyuṣṭiṣu | śyenāso na svayaśaso riśādasaḥ pravāso na prasitāsaḥ paripruṣaḥ ||
Ye are like horses fastened to the chariot poles, luminous with your beams, with splendour as at dawn; Like self-bright falcons, punishers of wicked men, like hovering birds urged forward, scattering rain around.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र यद् वहध्वे मरुतः पराकाद् यूयम् महः संवरणस्य वस्वः । विदानासो वसवो राध्यस्याराच् चिद् द्वेषः सनुतर् युयोत ॥
pra yad vahadhve marutaḥ parākād yūyam mahaḥ saṃvaraṇasya vasvaḥ | vidānāso vasavo rādhyasyārāc cid dveṣaḥ sanutar yuyota ||
When ye come forth, O Maruts, from the distance, from the great treasury of rich possessions, Knowing, O Vasus, boons that should be granted, even from afar drive back the men who hate us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य उदृचि यज्ञे अध्वरेष्ठा मरुद्भ्यो न मानुषो ददाशत् । रेवत् स वयो दधते सुवीरं स देवानाम् अपि गोपीथे अस्तु ॥
ya udṛci yajñe adhvareṣṭhā marudbhyo na mānuṣo dadāśat | revat sa vayo dadhate suvīraṃ sa devānām api gopīthe astu ||
He who, engaged in the rite's final duty brings, as a man, oblation to the Maruts, Wins him life's wealthy fulness, blest with heroes: he shall be present, too, where Gods drink Soma.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते हि यज्ञेषु यज्ञियास ऊमा आदित्येन नाम्ना शम्भविष्ठाः । ते नो ऽवन्तु रथतूर् मनीषाम् महश् च यामन्न् अध्वरे चकानाः ॥
te hi yajñeṣu yajñiyāsa ūmā ādityena nāmnā śambhaviṣṭhāḥ | te no 'vantu rathatūr manīṣām mahaś ca yāmann adhvare cakānāḥ ||
For these are helps adored at sacrifices, bringing good fortune by their name Adityas. Speeding on cars let them protect our praises, delighting in our sacrifice and worship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
